JSLS2022 Call for Papers:　Online Virtual Conference

Conference Dates: September 24-25, 2022

The Japanese Society for Language Sciences (JSLS) will host the 23^rd  Annual International Conference on September 24 (Sat) – September 25 (Sun).  It will be an online virtual conference.

The following paper categories are welcome: (1) oral presentations, and (2) poster presentations. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

JSLS hopes to encourage research in the language sciences through theoretical and experimental research, in a wide range of areas including linguistic theory (e.g., phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), first and second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, language education, bilingualism, natural language processing, neurolinguistics, discourse analysis and sociolinguistics. We hope to provide a forum for the active exchange of ideas between researchers in related fields, transcending their respective research areas. This conference is international and multidisciplinary.
